Scottie Scheffler He birdied every hole except the par 3s on the Albany Golf Club front nine on Friday and finished his round Friday without a bogey. He did so with a 64, 8 under par, which gave him a two-shot lead in the Hero World Challenge.
A two-month break has done nothing to slow down the world’s number one player. Scheffler already has eight wins this year and is in position to achieve another.
With 131 strokes, 13 under par, he is two ahead Akshay Bhatia (66) and Justin Thomas (67)who had to save par on the 18th hole to stay in contention for the weekend. It didn’t take long for Scheffler to control the tone.
The Ryder Cup captain, Keegan Bradleycarded a 67 and was four strokes behind the leader. Cameron Young, who opened with a 64 for a two-stroke lead, suffered a 75 despite five birdies and dropped to tenth place. Patrick Cantlay He made three bogeys in the last seven holes and was seven shots off the lead with a 71.
The tournament, organized by Tiger Woods, offers world ranking points to all players except the bottom three, due to the small number of participants. Scheffler, the first player since Woods in 2009 to start and end a year ranked number one in the world, is the heavy favorite to win.
